    Homebuyers: How hard is it to move up?

    July 1st, 2009, 12:00 pm by Marilyn Kalfus, real estate reporter

    homebuyersWe reported in the Lansner on Real Estate blog this week that home prices are still falling but the rate of decline is slowing down, perhaps a signal that prices are nearing a bottom, according to First American CoreLogic’s latest Home Price Index. Among other things the index showed that Orange County house prices fell 12.5% in April from the year before, the smallest decline since November 2007.

    But some home shoppers have been having a hard time trying to move up. One Surf City reader, a prospective buyer, wrote in that blog’s comments:

    “I keep hearing about tumbling prices. As someone trying to buy a house in Huntington Beach, I am not so sure I am seeing that. Our well kept entry level home sold in a few days with multiple offers. We are trying to find a 4 bedroom/2 bath, 1800+ sq. ft in 92646 Huntington Beach or Southwest corner of Fountain Vally with a pool and can’t find anything. The homes are either trashed, back a major street or well over $800,000. Good homes have bidding wars and go for above asking. If we don’t find a house in the next 2 weeks our sale will fall out.”

    I started to look up a few in that ZIP and that price range and they were already in backup offers. And overall, demand seems pretty strong. Homes in the $500,000-$750,000 price range throughout Orange County are at 3.84 months, meaning it would take that many months to theoretically sell all homes in that range, according to an analysis by Steve Thomas at Altera Realty, who does a bi-weekly report on supply and demand. Anything under 6 months is a buyer’s market.

    “Anything under $800,000, you price them right and boom, they’re gonna go,” says Huntington Beach broker Lillian Walker. “It does make it a little more challenging for a buyer.”

    Can anyone else relate to the reader’s experience? Is it that hard these days to find something above entry level but less than $800,000? Share in the comments!
